UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JOHN THAOKER, OF NEW LEXINGTON, OHIO.

IMPROVED BORING APPARATUS FOR ARTESIAN WELLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 50,643, dated October 24, 1565.

To all lwhom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN THAGKER, of New Lexington, in the county ot' Perry and Slate of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Ma- I chine, being an Improvement in the Mode of4 boringArtesian wells; land I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptton ot' the construction and operation of the same.

First, a horizontal shaft, A, with screw attached, B, upon which is a slack spool, O, for holding and paying ont the rope G; second, a set-screw, d, with point on an inclined plane to gage the slack spool.

This horizontal shaft may be put in motion by horse, steam, or any other power.

At the screw end of the horizontal shaft, and forming a part ot' the frame-work, is the der-rick E, upon the top of which is a pulley, F, for the purpose of raising the tools H from the well and working the sand-pump by means of a rope running from the power end'of the shaft.

By attaching the power to the shaft, turning it to the left throws the rope upon which the drill is attached directly from the center ofthe shaft on a perpendicular. The shalt may be of wood or iron, as well also the screw.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

lhe horizontal shaft ending in a screw, by means of which the rope to which the drill is attached falls from the center of the shaft, in combination with a slack spool, gaged by the set-screw, to pay out the rope.
